Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

Location: Tombstone Estate
Planet Gran Canaria, Omega 49 System.

John Holliday returned home after a lengthy trip of business and diplomacy, all which were a success in his mind. Joining several Zoners in a convoy of peaceful protest, they occupied Newark station in New York space to protest an illegal bounty in which others from different factions joined. Ian Collard, the Interspace Commerce administrator got the point and all went home peacefully.

While there, John also spent a couple of days vacationing with Midori on planet Denver. He hated spending days apart with her but he knew in the end it was for the best. She vowed the Zoner's life and swore to complete her quest in becoming one. He respected her wishes and didn't fight it. She told him to continue his business, go home and await her return. She swore it would be worth his wait and he in return swore the same. They both knew that there word was law when given and respected it.
"I have work to do, John," she said with a kiss and a hug as she opened the door to her Eagle, "and so do you. I will see you soon. Do not worry about me."
"I always will worry, Midori," he responded, "It would be inhuman of me not too."
With a final kiss, she put on her helmet, closed the door and began her launching sequence. With a finger tip wave and a smile, she headed out to continue her quest.

On the Estate, he received word that his final land purchase was finalized. His Estate now was 10,000 acres, all of which he declared protected. The wildlife of Canaria flourished and the shipment of Gaian wildlife he had brought in also flourished. It wasn't uncommon for him to mount up a caballa, ride out amongst it and just sit, often sipping on a thermos of coffee as he watched with a smile. It was these moments that he felt at peace. It was then he also realized just how big his estate was as he couldn't see across it.

He also had a guest staying on the Estate at his invite. He checked in on the guest to see that all was well...and it was. The guest house was well equipped with a com center and was well covered in a grove of trees. For the most part, Doc left him alone and did not reveal to anyone else of his presence, to include Grady, who was told to leave him be.

Returning after a day of riding, he then focused on what concerned him most for the time. Looking skyward from a chair on his deck, he scoffed.
"Damned expansionists," he grumbled, "No way do you take this place from us....from me."
Of course, no news was often good news and no new news had come across regarding Bretonia's expansion into Omega 49 to annex the planet. He only knew that Bowex ships continued bringing refugees and there was few ships around to stop them.....at least for now. He felt comfortable knowing that sentiments from other groups for the Zoners was gaining momentum and that they would not be alone. After all, smatterings of other groups made there homes on Canaria as well, to include some 300 Klingons who had no home. There were others as well, many others.
